The #OTW Board election on August 11-14 is now uncontested with five candidates and five open positions on the Board, but it’s still important to vote, as OTW members will elect three candidates to serve a full term (3 years) and two candidates to serve partial terms. Whoever gets the most votes will serve the longer terms, so we encourage everyone who’s eligible to vote to do so! #VoteToEndOTWRacism
